Silver bells by Rosemary Clooney
My favorite Christmas song
Ring-A-Ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas Day
There is such a prance and dance to it
It is lively and fun,
Kid-friendly
Portraying happy people
The rhymes are easy to remember
There is a pizzazz to it
I sang it as a child,
It always made Christmas seem
like she was right around the corner
It is enthusiastic, friendly and fun!
I did not know Rosemary Clooney
Wrote it until today.
This makes it even better.
George Clooney’s aunt!
The time has arrived my good friends
To great heights of stardom, I ascend
The role I have chosen
In the films of motion
A sex idol, the next Clooney I contend

I heard it on the news today
All my dreams have been blown away
I’m sitting here now in my bra and knickers
With a bottle of gin and family pack of Snickers
Oh no it’s such a sad depressing day
George Clooney’s getting wed today
Oh those eyes so dark brown and sultry
And with his hair turning grey mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Guess lots of ladies are in mourning
They missed their chance now reality is dawning…
All across the land ladies are wishing
It was with him that they were kissing
Now if only I was ten years younger - twenty is nearer the mark
If I plaster myself in make up and went somewhere that’s dark
If only I was tall and slim
I could have had a chance with him
So guys if its chocolate your lady is craving
Buy her the biggest box it will stop her raving
Make sure you give her lots of attention
And George Clooney’s name you must NEVER mention

Mickey Rooney or George Clooney
In movies, there is always a grim them;
What women like looking at is a trim him;
You know, the darling, handsome one
Who thinks that he is a Don Juan.
Now really, very showy is what you are
And a raising star which is the best by far;
Also, could be things that are God-forsaken
Like when husband away my TV was taken.
So did you read the message loud and clear?
Hope you didn't find any frustration or fear;
As for the likes of loony George Cahoonie
I myself would rather watch Mickey Rooney.
Things are more roomy with Mickey Rooney,
But all women love body of George Cahoonie.
PS. Wow. My Poem of the Day was
really terrific on August 16, wasn't it?
Three people on the sofa,
Watching a film.
Daughter (28)
“I don’t go much for him myself …”
Mum (59)
“You don’t??
What’s up with you???”
Daughter’s partner (40)
“hngh, hngh, hngh!”
15 seconds, plus typing …
Not a serious contender, just a bit of light relief!
